TITLE:		Challenges Optimizing HPC Applications Within New Computer
 		Architecture Environments


SPEAKER		Patrick Dreher  (MIT)


ABSTRACT:

The evolution of computer hardware architectures has provided ever more 
powerful computational platforms that have been applied to a spectrum of 
research topics and unsolved problems in many disciplines.  However, over 
the past decade, the physics and engineering constraints on these 
processors have forced designers to construct more complex platforms to 
circumvent these limitations.  In turn, more complex designs are now 
presenting ever more challenging problems for users to modify their 
algorithms so that these HPC codes can run effectively on the new systems. 
This talk will give an overview of some of these challenges and use 
lattice quantum chromodynamics as one of the classic HPC grand challenge 
problems to illustrate where some of these difficulties are experienced 
today.  It will also speculate as to how these designs may impact HPC 
applications as the field moves toward the exascale era.
